ALIVE!Grinder and Valet.I must say that I’m hardly the kind to pat myself on the back but I am very proud of my accomplishments of late. After all of the work infusing power into the items of my companions, I was free to do some true artificing. Using parts taken from refuse we found in Jzadirune and some items I was able to procure from Weir, I set about creating my greatest creations. I must seem something of a madman to the rest of the Blue tigers as I have been seen very sporadically and when they do see me I’m always looking my worst. I honestly thought Mariss would faint when she saw me siphoning off my own blood into the chamber within my Iron Defender. As inquisitive a girl as she is should have left me to my work. My first creation is Grinder. Iron Defenders are a staple as a guardian for someone of my profession and each is as unique as the Artificer who created it. I made Grinder from parts removed from the digging machines in Jzadirune as well as parts taken from the first Worg that Astrid and I killed. Building his frame from Darkwood and Worg bone was simple and the finishing touch of small armor pieces taken from the ruined suit of armor found in Jzadirune remolded were a perfect touch. Once the infusions were in place and my blood added to awaken ‘him’ Grinder immediately took to my side as a faithful dog would. I painted him and designed his body to look like a miniature tiger painted a medium blue with indigo stripes. I have named him grinder for the way he tends to grind his teeth when not occupied. My next creation was just as important. I now had a bodyguard but I needed an assistant as well. My art requires me to carry a lot of equipment as well as my adventuring gear. I may be in better physical condition than many, but I’m only one being. Using the foot design I saw the Gnomes used on their digging golems, I fashioned feet and legs onto a frame of metal, worked this frame around a chest made of Darkwood that I had made and then attached arm units to the sides. The “face” of Valet is a large elaborate looking lock with eyes and a mouth. On the top of the Valet is the symbol of the Blue Tyger Legion and on the sides or “shoulders” of the Valet are my personal glyph and that of Diamondshard Cabal.Now with my Guardian and assistant I feel ready to face any challenge ahead of me. Except for actually asking my Astrid out on a date.</blockquote>
